I have some very bad news on my car though. After checking and double checking and triple checking I will have to retub my car. The 295/40's are just a hair to big for a minitub and I will have to go with a full tub job.
that was my conclusion on my ol' silver Duster....hence the mini back half...only gained 1/2"....but it was needed for the "meats"....plus, I could built the entire rear 4-bar/4-link chassis outside the car, then bolt/weld in place. You could do a little stretch,...while you're at it. I can loan you my fender stretcher
